RedemptionNL Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 ∞* *some tournaments may limit the number of detachments/formations you may take.

Lucien Eilam Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 You can take any number of any type of Detachment or Formation of any Faction in any combination, provided you obey the Restrictions on the individual sheets and don't repeat Unique models. If you want 20 Archangels Strike Forces and a dozen Stormwings, plus some Tyranids and some Eldar and some Chaos Space Marines, go ahead. There is no limit. The allies rules define how units interact on the tabletop. They have nothing to do with army selection.

Lucien Eilam Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Which Faction a Detachment/Formation came from is irrelevant, with one exception: the Allied Detachment from the main rulebook has a Restriction that everything in it must be from a different Faction than your Warlord's Detachment. But don't be confused by the fact that that Datasheet is called the Allied Detachment. It's just a name. Allies are any models with different Factions in the same army, regardless of how they got there, and it's an in-game effect. It doesn't change what you can put in your army.

Xenith Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I miss the FOC . . . It's still there. In fact, there are more FOC's than ever before. BA have their own.

Karhedron Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I am happy to see the diversification of FOC's. Previously we had situations where one form of organisation was supposed to be used for every army, regardless of whether they were siege breakers, light recon or an armoured company. You had to take specific HQs to force units to become Troops which mangled things further. Now we have a cleaner system where different armies have different FOCs that actually reflect the way that they wage war. Plus you still have the good old CAD for general use. The FOC is dead, long live the FOC! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311846-how-many-formations-dataslates-can-i-field-and-be-legal/#findComment-4137105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn4k30r Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Still to take forgeworld units u need CAD formations are made for GW :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311846-how-many-formations-dataslates-can-i-field-and-be-legal/#findComment-4137114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Still to take forgeworld units u need CAD formations are made for GW I don't think so. As long as your detachment has the appropriate slots available, you can run FW models without a CAD. You could quite happily run a FW Sicaran in a BSF Detachment for example (as many people do).
